Conjoint: BA/BGlobalSt major in Latin

Skip to Main Content

The Romans left literature of enduring importance in poetry, drama, satire, history and philosophy. Learning Latin allows you to read this literature in its original form, gaining a deeper understanding of Roman culture and many modern languages, including English.

By studying Latin you not only learn the language, but also ways in which to analyse and describe language. You will learn to read Roman literature and understand Roman culture.
Beginners can learn Latin from scratch. At Stage I there is a brisk programme of language learning before you embark on the study of literature and intermediate language at Stage II.

The study of Latin improves your attention to detail and analytical skills, which can be applicable to a wide range of careers. Our graduates have moved on to careers in journalism, teaching, public relations and human resources.

You can take a major in Latin as one of the two components of your double major for a BA.
You will need to pass at least 120 points (eight courses) towards each of your majors, including at least 45 points (three courses) at Stage III.
